Should I Bother?

Should You Bother Learning How to Knit in Your 30s?

“Cast on, cast off” - Mr Miyagi’s Granny. 


Do you also think of grannies, sitting in a rocking chair when you think of knitting? Apparently everyone else does too. But, it’s time to break that stereotype! 


As the perfect activity to try in the year’s most boring month, we unleashed our inner grannies and decided to try our hand at this age-old craft.


As usual, we found a load of scientifically proven health benefits (always surprising..) and a survey of 3500 knitters worldwide even found that 82% are much happier after knitting. 


Would we be part of the 18%? Or would this be something we bother doing forever more, knitting scarves for our children’s children?


Expect to hear things like a good old-fashioned stitch n' bitch, why babies have a poor taste in fashion and how Stephanie knits presents for doctors (she was 9; it wasn't a seduction tactic..)
